Comma usage with 'but' - Cindersue Posted: Feb 18th, 2016 - 8:38 pm
I have a comma rant: A coworker recently told me I placed a comma incorrectly after the word 'but.' Ex: "My doctor told me I was okay, but my PCP said I should visit a dermatologist." She told me the comma needs to go after 'but' ..... My experience is as an MT since 2000, when I received my MT certification, after having completed the one-year course, had my own business for ten years, then worked as IC. She's been in MT for 17 years, self-taught, and she's very knowledgeable, however, she stands over my shoulder at times and tells me to remove commas, add commas, move them to a different part of the sentence, when I'm quite confident in my professional work experience, having gone through many, many QA processes down through the years. Oh, and she also corrects my capitalization usage, I.e., Prolene and Vicryl should be capped, she says they don't.
